"The history of Gibson, simply put, is one of the great stories of American enterprise. From its humble beginnings in 1894, to its “golden age” in the ‘50s and ‘60s, to its phoenix-like return to glory in the late ‘80s, the company’s iconic reputation and inventive spirit have made it an American institution. Today, Gibson moves forward into 2014 with its eyes trained firmly on the future while also paying homage to its illustrious past."
